Notes
  • This structure was demolished in 1996.
  • Significance: The 1959 Well House No. 3 is a replacement, constructed on the foundation of a small wood-frame well house buildings constructed in 1943 (during World War II). The 1959 Well House was probably built in response to the base's population at the time. It represents Ellsworth's significant growth in both size and function during the Cold War era. Ellsworth, one of the Air Force's major bomber bases at that time, served as a repository of a large portion of the nation's nuclear weapons arsenal, and became host to a nuclear missile wing.
